Emergency Preparedness Team

Are you prepared? Learn about Unity’s Emergency Action Plan! How would you respond if we had to evacuate the church in response to a fire, a gas leak, or a bomb threat? What is the protocol if there’s a medical emergency or if an inappropriate person is posing a threat? Where do you go if there is a tornado? These are some of the questions that the Emergency Preparedness Team (EPT) at Unity Church has been discussing for the past two years. Many of the situations are low probability, but if they were to happen, would create a high impact. Our best protection is to be prepared!

The EPT has developed an “Emergency Action Plan” (EAP) which offers guidelines and procedures in the event of an emergency. As a result, we have purchased additional equipment, identified weather shelters and evacuation paths, and created a response structure for staff and volunteers which is designed to help us respond effectively.
